I'll be moving my JP 18" .308 barrel over from my Aero M5 receiver set

Cool. Which Xanthos handrail did you go with?

I'm sticking with my SLR Ion Ultra Lite. I really don't like the mounting system for the 2A handguards and am generally prefer KeyMod.

Impressive work by the guys at 2A:

I wanna play with it!
What do you think of the trigger?

Much better than their Glock Trigger. Insane, crisp reset. Nice pull. Should be a fast shooter.

Kind of want but whew that price tag. Guess I'll be happy with my Apex for a while.

If you run into a snag, let me know.

So I was going to post a picture of my new Kahles K16i SM1 here, but it is being returned because the reticle is noticeably canted clockwise (scope is upside down in photo with a bubble level sitting on the turret cluster flat):



This is piss poor QC on a $200 scope, let alone one that costs $2,000. I'm about ready to hop off my optic snob bandwagon and start using vortex strike eagles. Haha!

I'll let you use mine! My lettering was off but at least the reticle was right

What's your reference point for "level"?

The bubble level at the top of the pic... or am I missing something?

Somehow I doubt I'll see strike eagles popping on tour rifles.

Throw that scope on an AK and it's perfect. Ha!

What is the level resting on? The turret?

The scope is upside down.

I stated in my post that the scope is upside down and the level is sitting on the underside of the turret cluster.

I also leveled it in a mount with a plum bob and a separate bubble level on the rail. Once the reticle is leveled, the turrets are visually canted off to the side.

There's no possible way the scope would track properly as the turrets are adjusted.

Maybe y'all have already seen these but I hadn't.

Dream Plastics. https://dreamplastics.com/index.php?...&product_id=72
Trijicon RMR covers $10. (2pk $5ea)
Burris FastFire covers $10 (2pk $5ea)

Feels like the same type of rubbery material used for Aimpoint bikini but the DP are thicker. Good fit. Secures well. Pull tab on/off.

Ah, sorry. Reading comprehension failure on my part.

Was just curious because I have a Swarovski Z3 that really doesn't have a flat spot anywhere on it so I just treated the reticle as the very definition of level, but it seemed like it also had a 1 or 2 degree cant of reticle against the turrets. Was a bit trickier to mount since I couldn't place a level on the optic to any effect. I've never done a tracking test with it either, but perhaps I should. I don't understand the inner workings of a scope well enough to understand if the apparent cant necessarily leads to tracking issues. I'll be curious to hear how Kahles handles this.
